Even then it would be a copy. In this case it would be like downloading an amalgam of thousands of movies, not quite like any of them

I could have that discussion. But it still wouldn’t be theft. Nothing was actually stolen.

I’m going to say it again. It cannot be theft. Nothing is stolen. What did they have before they don’t have now?

I see people disagree with me but they are too lame to try and say why, and they definitely could not explain how, when there is nothing in AI but a probability algorithm.

I can’t buy into the theft idea. It is like describing ideas in mathmatical concepts. The ai contains nothing of the original.

Is there another word that fits better? I don’t know.

On the other hand, why would anyone buy art without knowing the artist? I commision art, I buy art, but I always get to know who it is from and in most cases how they made it: watercolor, oil, pen, etc.

You might not be that far off. I can’t think of a kid who is interested in going to six flags. A whole school was going to go for the day, for free. Only a handful expressed interest, the rest said no way they are standing in lines, in the sun, to take a 3 minute ride to nowhere.

I still run websites. Some simple and static, others forums, yet others are blogs.

I like to have small communities around simple interests and they get enough traffic to stay interesting.

The blogs are for recording things I do and want to remember and share, like setting up postgres to do interesting things.

None of them have ads or generate revenue. I just miss the old internet and like to see these things exist.

At the same time, I don’t really care if AI scrapes it. It’s out there to be looked at. Of course one website is a complete farce, illogical and fake product nonsense. I enjoy it getting scraped the most.

Please don’t say breaking.

They are getting ready to roll out the Hate and Bigotry themes.

The weather will be what it will be, and I already have a calendar.

The TV is off until the evening anyways, I cannot see the point of this at all.

No, never was a serious post. But that user simply chastising all the one drive users was just as rude really.

No high horse. At least no higher than “I disable one drive, unlike those pleebs!”

Come on… I am not being terribly serious, but the logical thing is not disable One Drive, but avoid the bullshit all together if you are going down that road.

These types of posts just remind me how bad people are at using computers.

Ive used windows 11 since it came out.

As a Linux user for over two decades; oh the irony.

I couldn’t resist. Don’t take it too seriously, although windows 11’s DE mashup of Windows, KDE, Gnome, and Mac is sort of hilarious to see.

“its just one glass of wine” can be equally said with “its just a small bump of coke” or “its just half an oxy”

No, not really. Each person is different, set and setting are different, circumstances can be different.

In any case that silly graph you posted was made by:

“opinions and judgment of 15 researchers, doctors, and a journalist. These opinions were exchanged and discussed during a 1-day workshop” … “given that it has no input other than the experience and knowledge of the participants involved, it is unlikely to be unbiased”

Although to be fair, the group that made that study now is advocating ways to get medical cannabis and psychedelics to people, which is more or less in line with the graph I suppose.

Your merits matter most to me. But we all need to get the hell away from that platform.

That sucks. And the only way to fix it is to get people not to play.

I am on hiring committees for a large firm for it positions. When people put their linked in on their resumes, I see it as a negative. If they can’t value their personal data, I don’t see how they can value my companies.

Linked in shouldn’t even be an option. It was shit before microsoft bought them (email man in the middle, remember that?) and somehow microsoft made it worse.

I would never touch that platform. Friends don’t let friends use it.

Do you really hate algorithms (since AI doesn’t really exist yet) or do you hate the hype and marketing?

Admittedly a computer in everyone’s hand is new. But corel paint, for example, was 12 years old in 2003. People were basically making memes and creating scenes that never existed on a whim and for the lulz back then.

And were much, much, better then these stupid examples!

Absolutely everyone can was about 20 years ago though.
